The miracle plant of Madagascar
Centella Asiatica, also known as hydrocotyle or tiger herb, is a perennial plant found in Madagascar. Highly valued in phytotherapy and Ayurvedic medicine, it possesses numerous medicinal properties.
A plant with a thousand virtues
Used for millennia in traditional Malagasy medicine, this plant offers numerous benefits.
Centella is renowned for promoting wound healing and reducing scars and stretch marks due to its regenerative actions on the skin.
Its tonifying properties on the venous and lymphatic systems also make it a helpful ally for weight loss in combating water retention and cellulite.
Rich in antioxidants, Centella also helps stimulate natural defenses and combat skin aging.
The cultivation of the "green treasure"
At SOTRAEX MAD, we cultivate this miraculous plant organically in various regions of Madagascar.
Known to be quite delicate, it grows in the shade of broadleaf trees in marshy areas with rich, moist soil.
The harvest is done manually after six months of cultivation, at the optimal stage of maturity.
The methods of processing
After harvesting, the Centella leaves are carefully dried away from light and heat.
They are then packaged to preserve all their active ingredients or transformed into powders, extracts, or capsules based on their intended use.
